Age Verification & Cookies

AGE VERIFICATION

The Products offered for sale on our Website(s) are subject to regulation and age restriction. It is required of us to prevent sale of any of our Products to any individual not of the required legal age, and we are committed to our responsibilities in this respect. We only send marketing and/or other information that may facilitate or encourage the purchase of products from us to those individuals who have certified they are at or above the minimum age required to purchase any such product, have verified that they wish to receive marketing/and or other such promotional materials from a tobacco retailer, and have confirmed that they are aware that providing us with false information may be against the law.

Before any purchase can be made from a newsletter or email we have sent to you, we will use a non-affiliated third party service to verify your age by way of an identity verification check. We use these third party services to verify the data you provide to us, and to ensure that you are eligible to purchase products from our Website(s). We have developed this verification process with the privacy of our customers in mind. No detailed information provided as part of the verification process is shared or otherwise made accessible.

It may occasionally be the case that we are unable to verify the age or identity of an individual through this verification process. Should this situation arise, we will require you to verify your identity by way of uploading a government approved ID, from which we can manually confirm your date of birth. Any such photographic identification is uploaded to a secure database belonging to our third party partner, and we process whatever result they provide to us. We do not directly receive a file containing your ID, and so it is not stored on our servers or database.
